We’ve seen the rules already and these crates are now confirmed for release June 6, 2016. And (it’s hard to see) the price point is $50/£30. That’s a bit of a bummer as the rumormill was first reporting the pricing was a little cheaper. Still, it’s inline with Games Workshop’s other terrain kits…But man, I still wish that $33 price point was true. This is why we report rumors and confirm with pics when possible. If you don’t see a pic, apply salt to the rumor.

£30 is a silly price. At £20 it was fair. I was going to buy two or three sets but I don’t think I’ll bother now. There was me thinking the new boss had reined in the excesses, but this and £18 for the enginseer (when I’m pretty sure the old version was about £10) means nothing has really changed.

I think other manufacturers make METAL BAWKSES. I sure wouldn’t care if you proxied ’em in.

Wouldn’t even be a proxy. Stick a couple of spare tanl Storm bolters on them and it’s a reasonable counts as. They can’t all look the same.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable price to me personally but each to their own.

DeadlyYellow

I certainly agree. It pulls it out of an impulse buy range and (for me at least) inspires more deliberated thinking as a potential purchase.

Unfortunately, the result rarely favors GW.

Knight_of_Infinite_Resignation

its roughly double the cost of comparable shipping containers on the market. I’m prepared to pay a bit extra for plastic and the extra bits, but not double. Plus it takes it well out of impulse purchase territory.

Badgerboy1977

I guess that depends on your perspective.
If you just want cheap terrain that does the job then fair enough but personally I prefer the higher quality, styling and better material of these to anything that’s currently on the market and I’m willing to pay more for that.

Of course getting 20 – 25% off from an online retailer helps but even without that I still feel that £30 is reasonable for what they are.

Knight_of_Infinite_Resignation

For sure we all have different priorities. But even compared to GWs other terrain these are expensive.

NightShade2k

there are three of them in a set as long as rhino, as wide as a space marine base with bolters etc and other gribblys attached that works out 1 for £10 not sure that counts as super expensive tbh considering what an actual rhino costs… thats not including the Prometheian Barrels and 12 supply crates with imperial logos…

rtheom

I’m generally okay with some of the higher prices for hero figures, but I agree with you here. I’m kinda disappointed. I’m not mentally willing to pay as much for terrain as I am troops, and this just went from an immediate “get 3” to a “maybe get 1 eventually”. Hrrrmmmm… oh well…

DeadlyYellow

Better to just buy the troops and use the packaging to proxy in two shipping containers.

Moonsaves

I’ll be getting one if these, but only because as an ork player I want the extra bits. I think it’d make an amazing trukk trailer and it even has two hatches I can stick an ork or grot in.

Every release is an ork release.

Aren’t they $33? £30 is an extremely poor exchange rate if they are, especially as they’re prob made in nottingham

DeadlyYellow

Since it is the smallest pic in the article, I guess it would be easy to miss the pricing info clipped from WD.

Was also restated in the text blurb with bold red letters, but who reads those honestly?

Talos2

I guess £10 each is ok. Plus bits.

Malthrak

The Stormbolters look really hamfisted, like a random bit glued haphazardly to a terrain piece for no reason.
